Overview

Colorado Mesa University offers a comprehensive programme leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology . It is also possible to earn a Minor in Sociology, a degree which meshes well with virtually any other academic programmes, including any of the other degree programmes in the Social and Behavioral Sciences. Both options (BA in Sociology, Minor in Sociology) exemplify Colorado Mesa University's liberal arts mission by emphasizing critical thinking, statistical literacy, and the application of the "sociological imagination" to problems, programmes, and policies in the real world. Beyond these opportunities, a degree in sociology prepares students for responsible action in the social world and provides a foundation for lifelong learning and civic participation.

Career Opportunities

Sociology provides many distinctive perspectives on the social world, as well as a range of research methodologies that can be applied to virtually any aspect of social life, from corporate downsizing to problems of peace and war to the expression of emotion and beyond. Because sociology addresses the most challenging issues of our time, it is an expanding field whose potential is increasingly tapped by those who craft policies and create social programmes.

Sociology majors gain important skills in critical thinking, research methods and responsible citizenship. Thus they are well-prepared for future graduate work in Sociology and related disciplines, as well as for careers in social services, human resources, government, business, the health professions, and the criminal justice system.
